BHIWANI (Haryana), Mar 21 :  Congress President Sonia Gandhi today appealed to the BJP government in Haryana to provide timely compensation to farmers whose crops were damaged in the recent unseasonal rains in north India.
Her visit to the state comes amid increased focus of the party on farmers' issues and its strident opposition to the NDA government's controversial land ordinance, which has brought opposition parties on one platform.
"What do they want? They just want relief. I appeal to the government to give right and timely compensation to these farmers," she said during her visit to Bhadra village in Bhiwani district.    ?PTI
